To all whom it may concern:

Ohio, have invented certain ,new and'useiil Improvements in Attachments for Stoves?,-

and I do hereby declare that the'following is i a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, reference being had. to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, in which- K y l Figure 1 is a perspective viewv showing my invention properly connected to a stove. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a .portion of the radiating-plate. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section showing the different parts properly arranged with reference to heat-retaining and iiame-directing plate.

The present invention has relation to attachments for stoves, pertaining particularly to the class of stoves known as vapor-such as naphtha, gasolene, and oil-or where other fuel is em loyed wherein the fuel is rst vaporized or urned direct.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the iigures of the drawings. 1 y In the accompanyin drawings, 1 represents a stove of the kin to which my invention applies. 'Ihe stove within itself, however, forms no particular part of the present invention, except that a stove of some kind must be employed or used to carryout the benecial results of the present im rovement. The vstove proper is provide with the usual supply-pipe 2,l which of course leads to any source of fuel-su ply. To the supply-pipe 2 are attached in t e usual manner the burner-pipes 3, which burner-pipes convey the fuel to the burners 4, and of course each burner is to be attached tol al pipe. The burners herein vshown are, so far as this invention is concerned, simply conventional, as I donot claim in the present invention any particular kind or style of Above the stove plate or top 5 is located the sheet-metal plate or top proper 6, which plate is held away from the top face of the plate 5 by means'of the integral side and end flanges 7, by which :arrangement a chamber is provided between the top surface of the stove-plate 5 and the bottom or under side of the sheet-metal or cooking plate 6, which chamber is for the purpose of confining Fig. 4 is a detached vview of thev therein the heat emanating from the various burners 4.. I

' For'the purpose of directing the heat upward `and, through the open plates 8 the flanged disks 9 are provided, which iiangeddisks are seated or placed upon the burner-heads 10 or their equivalents.

l For the purpose of allowing the flame to pass'upward and above thedisks 9, so that it will comein proper contact with the burners 4, said disks are provided with apertures 9?, which are of suiiicient size to allow the flame tol pass through said apertures, the disks being held by means of the'tangs 11. The disks 9 are cup-shaped and the concaved faces of the disks located upon their upper sides and are so formed and located for-the purpose of better directing the iiame upward, so that the flame which is produced by the combustion of the vaporized fuel will'be better guided and in a sense coniined so that it will pass from the burners proper in direct contact with the cooking utensil placedl in any aperture 13.

For the purpose of holding the plate 6, together with the inte al iianges formed thereon, upon the stove-p ate 5 the retaining-plates 12 are provided, which retaining-plates may l be of any desired form and are extended downward, so that their bottom or lower ends will come below the bottom or lower edges of the end and side'flanges 7 and engage the edges of the stove-plate 5. p

The top plate Gamay be provided with any desired number of apertures 13, which apertures4 are for the pur ose of receiving and holding cooking vesse s of any desired kind `when it is desired to have the flame of any given burner strike direct against the cooking vessel. In the accompanying drawings have shown a single aperture.

For the purpose ofclosing the a erture 13 the shutter-plate 14 is provided, w ich shut" ter-plate is pivotally attached to the top plate 6.

It will be understood that by my pecullar arrangement I am enabled to heat the top plate 6 evenly, thereby better providing the cooking of victuals and at the same time arranging for theA direct contact of the ame emanating from any burner with cooking vessels, but Without materially decreasing the heat voi the plate 6.

It will be understood that the top plate 6, together with the vside and end anges 7, should be formed of comparatively thin maroo,

IIO

terial, and in order to prevent any 'sagging of the top the brace-bars 15 are provided,

-Which brace-bars may be of the form shown,

or they may be of any other form, as the only object is to provide a suiiieient support for the top 6 so that said top will carry the nee* essary Weight of'snc'll. articles as it is l ychamber between the top 'of' the stove roper and the bottom of the'cnoking-plate. te apertures are formed in the fia es 7', and Eer the purpose of regulating the a lmission of air the shutter-plates 16 are provided and preferably are pivoted to the flanges 7; butl I do. not desire to be confined to any particular manner of attaching the shutter 16,T as the only object is to provide a means for entirely closing the apertures 17 or partially closing the same,as desired. The object of admitting air into t'he chamber above the Stoveplate is, to regulate 'the heat independent of the stove-humm, as it will be' understood that when air is admitted in the chamber the temperature will be varied according to the amount of air admitted.

Having fufly described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of a stove provided with burners, a detachable cooking-plate s aced from the top of the stove, saiddetac able late. provided with integral side and end lHb'angesr adapted for Contact with the stoveto. v,. said Cooking-plate provided with a ves-l se '-aperture,l an Y the flanges provided with air-inlet apertures, braces secured to the cooking-plate upon its bottom or under Side, and shutter-plates adapted to regulate the size of the air-inlet aperturesl substantially as and for the purpose s eciiied.

In testimony that I c aim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence l l of two Witnesses.
